Healthcare Ranking by country: Where does the US rank?

Does anyone know where "we", being the United States, rank in the World in healthcare?

Can somebody tell me where the United States ranks in the World with healthcare rankings? Thanks!!!

Welcome to Mayo Connect, US is not one of the top countries in health care. This article discuss some of the factors that go into rating and also what would have to happen to improve US Health Care.

This could easily become a contversial topic about politics, so want to remind members about Connect guidelines number 6:
Keep politics out of the community conversations.

Thanks for sharing. That study, however, only looks at 10 countries. What I want is where the United States ranks in the World. Can you provide that? They have it, and I just want the latest. The last study I have is from 2022 where "we" ranked 38th. Anything will help and great job with the post!!!

I agree that politics isn't helpful in these discussion. But what I've personally experienced healthcare over the he past 2 1/2 years leads me to believe I'm in a world of trouble. I don't believe the majority of my contacts have been positive. It's usually because doctors are limited by their specialty and there isn't one person to put it together. Primary is supposed to, but my primary and I've visited 4 last year so I can would find a good fit, do not help the patient in the areas th as t the hat person has a specialist. I also find it is nearly impossible to make an appointment with primary care doctors. It can talk in months even for established patients.

It's frustrating.

Couldn’t agree more. Impossible to get an appointment with primary care doctor. Cannot get in for 3+ months. Endocrinologist said to see primary before proceeding. That was over a month and an half ago. My appointment is in the middle of next month. Everything on hold till then.

@jczerewko, an internet search or query in ChatGPT would provide information about healthcare rankings. I’m sure you’ve already conducted an internet search. But it sounds like you’re not finding what you’re looking for.

What is the source of the 2022 data that you have? While 2024 won’t be available yet, do they have 2023 data available? May I ask what you are looking for in the data?

@roch

I'm just making sure you received my latest post. Anyways, when you get a chance, can you point me in right direction to get the latest ranking? Like I said, the last study I read was in 2022 where the United States came in 38th. Thanks!!!

Hi Colleen! Nice of you to respond. What do I need the data for? Do you trust a person to tell you what they think is wrong without figuring out if they are qualified?

Please answer:

Yes/No.

They have the rankings. I came to the Mayo Clinic's site to ask where "we" rank in the World with healthcare? Simple!!

Now, if we do rank where I'm seeing, I want to know why? But, I think I know. My doctors at the Mayo Clinic are great, where they rank, from what I'm seeing, not so much.

Can you tell me you find where "we" rank in the World, please?

Also, where are we with stem cells? Other countries use them, but we're, inexplicably, still testing. I guess what the Ukraine's found in 1987 is still trying to get here, I suppose.

Anyways, if you can tell me where the US ranks in the World, that would be great!!!

Actually, my entire experience with getting what they offered was exceptional. Exquisite, actually. Every person did what they were to do with aplomb, it's just that where do we rank in the World? Is it first? I'm not finding it. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, again, I'm just not finding it.

If the Ukraine's were the first to publish the results of their findings, which they did, in 1987, I think that by 2025 we'd be so much further advanced than we are, but, that's me. You're you.
